FT Points and Challenge Convert let KYC-verified traders use an approved payout to buy a new account immediately or convert it into points for a later purchase. $1 of payout converts to 2.2 FT Points; each point covers $1 of listed account price, an effective 55% discount. The conversion is final; any unused payout balance follows the normal payout method.
